CPV 752 – Community Services

What does CPV 752 cover?

CPV group 752 covers community services – services encompassing public service delivery to citizens and local authority public interest functions. This includes police and public order services, fire and rescue services, health services, education services, library and cultural services, and other municipal public interest services. While many of these services are delivered directly by public bodies, support functions, infrastructure and specialist partial services are regularly procured externally.

Municipal public services are at the heart of public action. From fire services and swimming pools to public libraries, local authorities provide a wide range of services for their communities. The market is used for the support, equipment and infrastructure of these services. Catering for schools, transport services for people with disabilities and the management of sports facilities by private operators are all regular procurement subjects.

Public-private partnership models are common in some areas – for example the operation of swimming pools, sports facilities or cultural venues. Here the municipality commissions a private operator to deliver the community service whilst retaining ownership of the facility and ensuring basic public access.

Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission (SIMAP) and from Regulation (EC) No 213/2008 on the revision of the CPV.
